My best times
Were when I felt close to you
But everything fell apart
The moment I strayed from you
In each smile
In every single sigh
Every minute detail
Traces of you are found there
Wherever you are I’ll find you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you be I’ll be with you
Cause you’re the one my heart is to
I need you
To see your smile
I would pass every trial
Desperately I await
For the day when I’m by your side
Wherever you are I’ll find you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you are I’ll follow you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you be I’ll be with you
Cause you’re the one my love is to
My love is to
In every minute detail,
Traces of u are found there,
In every step that I take,
My longing becomes so clear…
I’ll follow you anywhere,
I’ll overcome every fear,
Anything just to be near, To be near.
To be near.
Wherever you may be
I’ll follow till I see
In my heart you will be
Your love is all I need
In every single smile
Every single sigh
Every minute detail
Traces of you are there
Wherever you may be
I will search till we meet
In my heart you will be
Your love is all I need
Wherever you may be

Zamanul-ghareeb qaleelu-ssakan
The time of the stranger sees [less a peaceful] dwelling
Wa laylul-waheed katheeru-shajan
And the night of the lonely is filled with sobbing
Wa haiyythu takoon, sawfa aati
Wherever you are i’ll (be) find you
Li’anaka anta ikhtiyyaru hayati
‘Cause you are the will of my life
Wa haiyythu tureed wujoodi yajoodu
Wherever you are, my existence is found
fa’nta kalami inda sukati
For you are my words when i’m silent
Ya raja’i
O my hope
Wa haiyythu takoon
Wherever you are
Wa haiyythu tureed
Wherever you desire, i will go
Ilaiyyka taseeru-dduroob
To you the pathways flee
Wa antal-ba’eedul-qareeb
You are far but close
Wa antal-ghareebul-habeeb
You are the stranger and the beloved
Ara feeka noor annahar
I see in you the light of the day
Haneenan li ta’mi-ddiyyar
Longing for that sense of home
Haiyythu takoon
Wherever you are
Wa anta shifahun tuneeru layali
You’re the light that brightens the nights
Ka’anaka ibtisamul-watan
As if you were the smile of the land
Wa anta jamalun ala baiyyti shi’rin
And you are the beauty in a poem
Yuradiduhu-nnasu abra-zzaman
That mankind sings throughout time
Ala kalimatin minka dhaba ightirabi
A word from you soothed my exile
Wa ansa bisawtika kulla adhabi
With your voice i forget my anguish
Wa haiyythuma takoon
Whereveryou are
